Svasara Treasure Chests & Boxes

Created with the belief that everyone should have a beautiful, unique and special place to keep the things they treasure...something visible and alive, becoming part of your story. Each is always unique & handmade with an element reminding us that we are all connected and part of something bigger. For example, the treasure boxes are all the same on the inside - just as we are all very different on the outside but consist of the same elements within.

Prayer Paper Treasure Box

A wooden cigar box from Honduras transformed into a treasure box...

...the outside is covered in chinese prayer paper; gold bells are used for the handle that will pull the lid out; the lid is encrusted with tangerine, turquoise & golden colored recycled rolled glass; inside is painted in a metallic blue and the bottom is lined with hand embossed copper, recycled blue glass and petals from flowers much cherished. (note: Each one is different on the outside but all the insides are the same, kind of like us)

depending on how you look inside and where the light comes & reflects from the bottom inside will glow more or less and change in color

Why Treasure Chests & Boxes

I’ve always been attracted to all kinds of storage trunks, boxes and chests – even giving them as gifts for people to keep their special things. In one of my “clear as bell” moments when asked what I was going do in my new design business – straight from the heart, without any hesitation – I stated “I am going to make children’s trunks.” -----The path from that day to now has not always been as clear but the journey has brought me to this moment overflowing with creative ideas for all kinds of treasure chests & boxes for everyone.Listen to more about Svasara Treasure Chests & the inspiration behind them.
